Have you tried restarting your sshd daemon to make sure changes to the software go into effect?

Did you etc-update? Did you push through changes to sshd_config? If so, it might be worth revisiting that file._________________Configuring a Firewall? Try my iptables configurationLinuxCommando.com is my blog for linux-related scraps and tidbits. Stop by for a visit!

In that case I don't think any of my guesses are going to help you. My computers are all at 4.5_p1-r1 and happy._________________Configuring a Firewall? Try my iptables configurationLinuxCommando.com is my blog for linux-related scraps and tidbits. Stop by for a visit!

I had to mask this new version and go back to the older one on my Ultra 1 due to a compile error. The build error told me that ldap wasn't supported and recommended that I mask it and try again in the future.

According to a bug on the OpenSSH tracker (https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1306), this was fixed in 4.7p1. There was a ancient HUP bug that was being fixed (I was seeing it about 25% of the time), and the fix for that created the spurious error messages, particularly on scp operations, it seems. There was some talk about backing out the patch that caused this problem, but it seems they were able to fix the spurious errors without reintroducing the HUP regression. 4.6p1-r4 (Bug 181407) seems to backport the fix to 4.6, so that should work until 4.7 makes its way into the tree._________________Tim

If anyone comes across this post searching for 'not being able to login with rbash via ssh' like I did, then what trojahn suggests above above changing the order of /etc/pam.d/sshd is incorrect. The reason rbash doesn't work because the first line in /etc/pam.d/sshd:

auth required pam_shells.so

Checks for a 'valid shell' and some other things. Essentially that the users shell is listed in /etc/shells. Adding rbash to this file allows users to login that have rbash set as their shell. Without having to reorder the correctly ordered default pam sshd file.
